Handcrafted Cabinetry
Designed and Built Like Furniture
LIFETIME WARRANTY
MADE IN CANADA
TRUE INSET CONSTRUCTION
ONE OF ONE GUARANTEE
Inset cabinetry is widely considered the pinnacle of the craft — and for good reason. Every door and drawer must be scribed and hand-fitted to sit perfectly flush within its frame, a level of precision few shops are equipped to deliver. For most, it’s the exception. For us, it’s the standard we build every kitchen to.
I think the greatest compliment we can give is that there’s nothing we would do differently. Your design team was patient, professional, and exceeded our expectations. You put so much thought into how we actually use our kitchen — there’s no wasted space, and every part of it serves a purpose. Out of everything in our new custom build, our kitchen gets the most compliments.

The Difference Is in the Fit
Look closely at the spaces around each door and drawer. Those fine, even lines are called reveals. Achieving them requires every door and drawer to be individually fitted by hand.
In framed cabinetry, the face frame is integral to the cabinet’s construction, not an applied detail used to imitate an inset look. It gives the cabinetry its distinctive furniture-like architecture.
Framed inset kitchens ask more of the people who build them. They require engineering skill, a trained eye, and years of hands-on experience to get right. Most cabinet shops simply aren’t equipped for the level of handcrafted work they demand. It’s a craft relatively few cabinetmakers ever master.

Clients
Request a Design Consultation
We create bespoke kitchens and beautiful interiors
From the beginning, our focus has been clear: to craft kitchens that combine luxury, functionality, and timeless design. Beyond quality and craftsmanship, it’s our commitment to exceptional service and the strong relationships we build with our clients that truly set us apart.
Telephone Consultation
Once you have made your initial enquiry, one of our dedicated customer concierge representatives will contact you to ask a preliminary set of questions aimed at mutually determining if AWDS is the right partner for your project.
Commissioning & Commitment
Once you're ready to move forward, a commissioning deposit, which will be applied towards the total project balance, is placed to secure your production slot and formally begin the design process. This milestone allows our team to proceed with confidence—coordinating timelines, materials, and next steps as we bring your vision to life.
Concept Development
With your project commissioned, one of our senior designers begins shaping the design vision in earnest. This stage is dedicated to understanding your lifestyle, preferences, and spatial requirements in depth. On-site measurements and 3D mapping tools are employed to document the space with precision, ensuring a seamless foundation for the design ahead. Through detailed dialogue, reference imagery, and early planning, we begin translating ideas into a tailored architectural and aesthetic direction.
Design Presentation
Meticulously incorporating measurements collected and ideas you provided, your dedicated designer will begin drawings and work closely with you to establish the right materials, hardware and overall finishes to help us portray an accurate visual of how your project will look. This visual is completed using our state of the art CAD software, allowing you to understand exactly how the design works and how the project will look. Ideally this stage would occur at one of our showroom locations, but your dedicated designer can also travel to your home, should it be more convenient for you.
Design Approval & Production Commitment
When you are completely happy with the final design, you will receive the Terms of Sale agreement for signed execution. Along with this, you will be provided with a comprehensive design and production package for review and approval. At this stage, a deposit equal to 50% of the project balance—less the previously paid commissioning deposit—will be required. Once received, your order is sent to our backend team of skilled craftsmen, where it will soon be put into production.
Final Site Verification
At an agreed time—typically no later than three weeks before installation—our team will return to site for a final verification. This visit ensures all services are in place and confirms that site conditions align precisely with the approved design drawings. This last check allows us to validate dimensions and details, ensuring a smooth and seamless installation day.
Final Account Settlement
The remaining balance of your project is due five business days prior to delivery. This final payment confirms that all cabinetry has passed our internal quality checks and is cleared for release. Once received, your order is prepared for dispatch in accordance with the pre-scheduled delivery timeline.
Delivery & Installation
Your cabinetry will be delivered either the day before or the morning of your scheduled installation. Depending on the scale and complexity of the project, installation typically requires 5 to 7 days. Our skilled team manages the process with precision and care—ensuring each element is installed to the highest standard and aligned perfectly with the approved design.
Post-Installation Quality Audit
To ensure your cabinetry meets both your expectations and our exacting standards, a Quality Assurance Specialist will complete a detailed inspection after installation. This final walkthrough allows us to confirm every detail has been executed to the highest level of craftsmanship and care.
Ongoing Care & Support
Our commitment to you doesn’t end at installation. Each project is backed by our lifetime warranty guarantee, offering peace of mind and confidence in the craftsmanship you’ve invested in. We remain available to support you well beyond completion—resolving any issues promptly and offering guidance to help you enjoy your cabinetry for years to come. At AWDS, we believe in lasting relationships built on trust, service, and enduring quality.
